Action Together New Jersey's Climate Action Contribution

About Action Together New Jersey's Climate Efforts

Action Together New Jersey's Environment Team, also known as ATNJ Environment, proactively advocates for climate action and environmental protection. We seek an accelerated transition to renewables, emissions reduction, protection of clean air and clean water, science-advised policy and environmental justice. We want New Jersey and the U.S. at the forefront of the global renewables revolution, both in legislative leadership-by-example and in innovative action, to benefit from the exponential job growth and economic gain to be found in pursuing renewable energy and a clean environment.

Sign on to the Climate Action 100+ initiative

Investors commit to supporting the Climate Action 100+ initiative with the aim of securing commitments from boards and senior management to:

Implement a strong governance framework which clearly articulates the board’s accountability for and oversight of climate change risk and opportunities.

Take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain, consistent with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global average temperature increase to well below 2-degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Provide enhanced corporate disclosure in line with the final recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and sector-specific Global Investor Coalition on Climate Change Investor Expectations on Climate Change (when applicable) to enable investors to assess the robustness of companies’ business plans against a range of climate scenarios, including well below 2-degrees Celsius scenarios, and to improve investment decision-making.
